Roko Leni Ukic, Croatian point guard, who had valid contract with Barcelona but was loaned to Lottomatica Roma last year, won’t continue his career with the Spanish team. Spanish newspaper “Marca” is writing that Barca set Ukic free and gave him freedom to find new club.
This could mean that Ukic is heading toward Toronto Raptors who selected him as 41. pick at the 2005 draft. With the departure of TJ Ford, who was traded to Indiana Pacers, Toronto has only one point guard remaining – Spaniard Jose Manuel Calderon and desperately needs backup for him.
The situation is very strange because Barcelona remained with backup point guard few days ago when Pepe Sanchez left them for Real Madrid. Jaka Lakovic is now the lone PG in the team but new one should be known soon. Main target is Terell McIntyre, who played for Siena Montepaschi and was the best PG in the Eurolegue.
